SPOTLIGHT ON: Official Trailerz for SKYFALL...

Well, folks, it's finally here: SKYFALL's full trailer.

The longer preview for the latest Bond film was released earlier today - and it looks quite smashing. We get more of a sense of the plot, as well as the characters. Bond looks great, as does Eve as his comradess-in-arms. And Severine is absolutely breathtaking as the "is-she-bad-or-is-she-good" mystery lady. Then there's M, who clearly plays a major role in the unfolding story. And let's not forget the introduction of a much younger Q. And last but in no way least is Silva - who is both magnetic and menacing as the main baddie. The normally dark-haired Javier Bardem looks kind of odd with all that blond hair, but then again Bond movies are supposed to have villains that stand out from the norm.

At any rate, SKYFALL is shaping up to be a major return to form after the atypical but interesting QUANTUM OF SOLACE. Please find below the domestic and international full trailers for SKYFALL, the 23rd Bond Adventure that will mark the 50th Anniversary of the series. From what we can tell, the main difference between the two trailers is that Severine appears more in the international trailer.

Please expect more Bond-related posts as we ramp up our celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the franchise leading up to SKYFALL release in October.

Also, please expect the archived reviews for MOONRISE KINGDOM, MAGIC MIKE, BRAVE, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, THE WATCH, and TO ROME WITH LOVE to post one by one until they're all posted by Sunday. Don't want to overwhelm you folks with a seven-reviews-at-once post.

Have a good evening...
